Territori della walkability tra Torino e Milano. Agganciare i percorsi lenti ai nodi delle reti infrastrutturali nelle città, nelle aree metropolitane e nei territori intermedi.

The contribution starts from the assumption that walkability must be part of a real infrastructural system integrated with the other mobility infrastructures. In this sense, we propose a reflection on the opportunities for developing connections between slow mobility networks (paths, cycle paths) and the nodes of infrastructural systems - which the events of COVID-19 may perhaps contribute to accelerate - with particular attention to the modalities of intermodal exchange between the various networks and the supporting role that digital service networks can provide. To do this, it is important to focus on the intermediate spaces, which are located between the infrastructural system and that of open spaces, where specific paths tailored to the path must be adequately considered. This applies, for example, to the connections between rail transport systems and the other interchange nodes of the infrastructure networks (intermodal stations, interchange parking lots, motorways, airports) and which intercept other territorial nodes such as places and spaces of study, culture, residence, leisure. Specific territorial contexts and case studies have therefore been identified, which clearly exemplify some problems and possible solutions, diversified by scale (neighbourhood, city, region), users (referring to primary, secondary and university populations) and horizons thunderstorms (daily and free time travel). The overall context is that of the urban regions of Turin, Milan and the intermediate territories.
